Well, if someone told you to find one word as a participle, they problably mean a past participle. Look for a verb in the past tense, sometimes ending in -ed such as talked, hired, eaten, or written. If you can't find one of those, look for a present participle, which would be a verb ending in -ing. This article is somewhat confusing to the beginning grammarian, but I am including it just in case someone wants more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participle
